Is anyone using on a Chromebook?

I use it on my Chromebook. You have to download and enable two extensions: CSSI Smart Card Middleware & Smart Card Connector You may have to restart your Chromebook after install. Sometimes (not often) I've noticed my card reader wasn't working properly. I just disable the extensions, restart, then re-enable the extensions. That seems to do it. All in all, no big issues on my Chromebook.

Does this support PIV cards?

Yes, but you may need the PIV "middleware." This one has a USB connector. The NF that you also asked about has a USB-C connector.

Will this work with samsung galaxy tablets if you have a usb adapter.

Manufacturer has drivers available for this device, so it should work with no problems. You can check driver availability and more technical details from manufacturer website: http://www.acs.com.hk/en/driver/160/acr38u-pocketmate-smart-card-reader

Does it work on Mac computers?

Yes. I use mine with my mac book pro..
